One Time Gaffled Em Up
Compton's Most Wanted Lyrics

Tired of the mother fucking jackin
Fed up with constantly being robbed

Boys that be jackin
Thieves who repeatedly commit robberies

Police, want to front; want to jack
Police officers acting in a threatening manner, possibly ready to rob or arrest individuals

On a day at the spot where the homies be chillin
On a particular day at a location where friends gather to relax

Gossiping about the latest Compton killin
Discussing the most recent homicide in the Compton area

Brothers is deep, and no time to sleep
Many friends are present and actively engaged in activities, with little time for rest

The Boys on the tip, and they trying to creep
Thieves may be present and attempting to rob others

Had a G-ride, so I suggest that we punch it
Possessing a vehicle, so the suggestion is to quickly leave the area

Grover was driving, and doing about a hundred
Grover was operating the vehicle at an extremely high speed, possibly to get away from trouble

Hit a corner on the plata. Checked the spot
Navigated a corner while examining the immediate area

Seen the P.D. lights. Down the spot was hot
Observed the flashing lights of law enforcement vehicles, indicating the area is being watched

Ed Dog was cuffin'. Threw in the back
One individual was cuffed and placed in a vehicle

Chiste and Lil' Rock jacked for selling that crack
Two people were robbed for selling a drug called crack cocaine

E, man, hit the fence. Yelled out, 'See you later!'
One person ran toward a fence and yelled out a goodbye

Shark then pulled out the big blue blazer
Someone brought out a firearm called the big blue blazer

Dookie and Boo didn't know what to do
Two individuals were uncertain of how to react to the situation

Jumped in the car with D.T, bumpin' CMW
Two people got into a car with others, listening to music from Compton's Most Wanted

Hit a you around the corner. Did it work? I wonder
Turned around a corner and questioned if their evasion tactic would be successful

C.P.D. on my ass, and they burnin' rubber
The Chicago Police Department is pursuing them and driving aggressively in doing so

Didn't want to be like Brother and Fly: locked up
Did not want to become incarcerated like their peers, Brother and Fly

So I downed the Bird that was still in my cup
Consumed an alcoholic beverage that was still remaining in a cup

Parked the G-ride, and I started to bail
Parked the vehicle and began to flee on foot

'Cause my trip was to home, not the County Jail
Because the goal was to return home, not be arrested and taken to jail

Police swooped. By the time the Boys was near me
Law enforcement caught up to them as other accomplices were nearby

Go Go fled 'cause the homie was kind of leary
A person named Go Go ran away because they were suspicious of the police

I wasn't sweating shit, 'cause they had nothing on me
Was not worried because law enforcement did not have any evidence that could incriminate them

Bam looked bag. They were named. Now his Pony
Searched a person named Bam and found an incriminating item - now he is in trouble

They peeped out the pager. Said, 'How much did it cost?
Examined a pager device and asked about its purchase price

By the way MC Eiht, where's the dope you toss?'
Asked where the drugs that MC Eiht had discarded were located

(Eight): 'Me sell dope? Um sir. I'm a rap singer
MC Eiht denied being a drug dealer and instead claimed to be a musician

Won't go down like the Compton gang banger.'
Refused to be associated with the dangerous reputation of Compton gang members

They ran a warrant check. I must have had good luck
Police officers checked for an arrest warrant and did not find one, indicating good fortune

But the homie who ran. Mmmm
However, a friend who ran away from the police may not have been so lucky

One Time gaffled him up
A term meaning the police successfully caught and arrested their friend

Had a show to do on a Thursday night
Had a performance scheduled on a Thursday evening

Me, Chill, Slip, and Tom rolling in Big White
Four friends - Me, Chill, Slip, and Tom - were traveling in a vehicle nicknamed Big White

Loaded as fuck, bumping 'The Cactus.'
Intoxicated and playing music from The Cactus album by 3rd Bass at a loud volume

I hope the Stoney Boys don't try to jack us
Expressing a desire that local robbers and thieves do not target them

Gas tank was loaded, and so was the E
The gas tank of the vehicle was full, as was a drug called Ecstasy

Kind of buzzed of the sack of the good E.T.
Feeling the effects of the drug Ecstasy

Chill was bustin' raps about the good ol' days
Chill was performing verses about the past, possibly focusing on nostalgia

Switching to another form about how he get paid
Shifting focus from the past to the present, with lyrics about earning money

Just then the Boys came behind the truck
Robbers appeared behind their vehicle

Tom looked out and said, 'What the fuck?!?!'
Tom looked outside and was surprised by what he saw

A motor cycle cop riding hard on the tip
A police officer on a motorcycle pursued them

Had to clown his ass once. N' said, 'This ain't no C.H.I.P.S!'
They made fun of the cop and said their situation was not similar to the TV show 'CHiPs'

Homie had a warrant for a D.U.I.
The police officer had an arrest warrant for someone driving under the influence of alcohol

And in my pocket was a fat sack of Chocolate Thai
Had a large quantity of marijuana strain called Chocolate Thai in their pocket

Now it's time to get nervous
Feeling anxious and tense

Starey Clown caught back em
A police officer identified as Starey Clown began to arrest them

And they was fixing to serve us
The police were preparing to charge and punish them

Dumb Dumb walked up and started asking for names
Another officer, called Dumb Dumb, asked for the identities of those present

They he peeped me out and asked what's the gang I claim
Dumb Dumb identified the artist and questioned if he was affiliated with a gang

The fact that I'm black is the reason you jack me
The singer believed he was only targeted because of his race

I've got to gang bang 'cause of the hat and khaki's
The singer is suggesting that the way he is dressed and his surroundings forced him to join a gang

If I was in the hood, the dummy wouldn't have found me
Suggesting that if he was in his own neighborhood, he would not have been found and arrested by these police officers

He said, 'Shut the fuck up 'fore you're headed for the County!'
The officer told him to stop speaking or he would be taken to county jail

He was already late. The fools had they nerves
The officer had missed his opportunity; he was not able to arrest them

To have us sitting contest on the edge of the curb
The police officers made them sit on the edge of the street

Twas showt, shorter that showt. What can I say?
The experience was very brief and almost not worth discussing

'Keep on talking. Go ahead. Make my day
The officer threatened to retaliate if they continued speaking

He started to acting tough n' Chill thought he was bluffin
The officer acted brave, but Chill suspected he was putting on a facade

But in a second or two, the Boys started the cuffin
Suddenly and without warning, the police officers started arresting them

Bud in our pockets. Brew in our cups
The police officers searched them and found drugs and alcohol

No time for explanations. One Time gaffled us up
The police ignored attempts to explain or plead their innocence and arrested them all

For when? For what?
Questioning why they are being arrested or detained

I ain't guilty!
Protesting innocence regarding the allegations against them

Get your ass in the car.
Ordering them to enter a police vehicle

You're coming with us!
Informing them that they are being taken into custody
